Artworks
The children had thought about concepts for their work before my arrival and were ready to start work. After discussions everyone was ready to produce some serious artworks.
Lawrence and Alex had a great response, from a number of influences, creating a framework to hang acetates and perspex with drawn and ‘photo-shopped’ images from around their school grounds which they named ‘Layers’.
Marko Mäetamm’s ‘Graveground’ was recreated and called ‘The Wire Ground’ and a group of girls decided to feminise a lighthouse after being inspired by Megan Broadmeadow’s ‘Ship-Shape’. There was also a beautiful collage and a very unusual telephone boat.
To top the day, the Head of Art wanted us to put the items on display in a glass cabinet at the entrance of the school for all to see. A great finish to a great day.
